reset the pram. as soon as you turn on the mac, hold down command, option, p, and r all at the same time. you should hear it bong again, and contiune to hold the keys down untill you get alteast 4 bongs, then let go and all should be good again.

DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
If the internal battery is dead, you won't get video. The PRAM reset mentioned in the above post should get you going, but the dead battery would force you to do that again the next time you boot. Try replacing that battery.
